When the Portland Timbers under-23 team battles the Seattle Sounders under-23s on Saturday at Doc Harris Stadium in Camas, it will be a soccer homecoming for five players on the Timbers U23s roster.
Niko De Vera, Anthony Macchione, Foster Langsdorf, Peter Prescott and Collin Partee are Clark County natives on the Timbers under-23 roster this summer — and each might see the field for this match according to coach Brett Jacobs.
Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $7.
Jacobs, who took over as the under-23s coach a month ago, is also the men’s soccer coach for Clark College and the technical director for the Washington Timbers youth soccer club. He stepped in when Jim Rilatt departed in late May after serving into the club’s eighth season.
Jacobs, a Vancouver resident, said he is enjoying the challenge of coaching a group of current college players.
